Eighteenth-Century Fiction
Eighteenth-Century Fiction
(ECF), the leading international
publication of scholarship on the early novel and the only quarterly devoted to
eighteenth-century fiction, is now available online.
In its 20th year of publication, the journal exercises a
rigorous peer-review of submissions and solicits reviews of relevant books. The
journal was founded to act as a primary research tool for fostering
intellectual debate and inquiry in this area of research and to serve as a
centre for scholarly exchange for the study of eighteenth-century fiction.
Since the journal’s inception, ECF
editors have focused on publishing the best scholarship on the early novel,
concentrating on the period 1700-1800. The editorial vision of ECF has been expanded to reflect changes
in the discipline, and as a result, a variety of approaches on a wide range of
relevant cultural materials are solicited and published. In recognition of the
growing body of interdisciplinary work by scholars in the field, ECF prints essays that conceive of fiction
more broadly and expand the frameworks of critical, historical, and theoretical
discussion.
Well-established and prominent in its field, ECF was recently recognized with the runner-up prize in the best
special issue category for the “War/La Guerre” issue (Fall-Winter
2006-7, vol. 19, no.1–2), in the 2007 competition of the Council of
Editors of Learned Journals (CELJ).
Articles are published in both English and French in order to provide a
venue for important new scholarship in this field that is regularly produced in
both languages. ECF’s
editorial board reflects an international commitment, and publishes scholarly
articles and book reviews from Canada and around the world, including
contributors from Australia, New Zealand, the US, the UK, France, Spain, and
Japan, among others.
